Club Morphy's Annual Invitational Holiday Charity Tournament johnclark is now taking sign ups for a Holiday Charity Chess Mini Tournament sponsored by Club Morphy. The official rules are posted below, but in a nutshell, participants play for their favorite charity and at the completion of the mini tournament all participants send their donations to the charity selected by the tournament’s winner. The suggested entry commitment is $20, but actually, whatever you can comfortably afford ($2, $5, $10, $20) is fine. Because the format for this year is an invitational mini tournament, it is open only to premium subscribers, per the site’s policy. The sign up process: Those who are interested in participating need to send johnclark a message that they would like to participate in the Holiday Charity Mini Tournament and indicate the charity that they will be championing for (e.g. “Sign me up: johnclark pledging $20 and playing for The Los Angeles Mission”). johnclark will then send out an invitation to join the mini tournament and post the participants and charities on the Club Morphy Forum along with a personal message to the participants. Because of time constrainsts, participants are requested to make multiple moves per day in order to complete the tourney somewhere around January 1st. Please sign up by Saturday, November 20th. johnclark has found it to be a good contribution to the Holiday Spirit.
